Product description: Neo Hex - hexagonal plate with 37x LED RGB diodes - WS2812 - M5Stack A045-B
Neo Hex is a hexagonal plate with 37 WS2812 RGB LEDs. It was produced by the M5Stack company and is compatible with a series of modules from this manufacturer - M5Stack Core , M5StickC / Plus , M5Atom and others. It has as many as 6 mounting holes (lugs) that can be disassembled. There are three Grove connectors on the back of the module - two input connectors and one output connector . The use of Neo Hex in the design gives the opportunity to play with light, which leads to amazing lighting effects and the creation of individual visual arrangements and illuminated works of art.
